Leyton Orient will aim to put an end to the negative trend, having picked up just 0.80 points per game overall this season and losing four of their last five matches. Our prediction, though, leans toward a 2-1 win as Cardiff have found their form of late. The O's produce much better showings at home than on the travels, averaging 1.00 PPG, but they concede 1.40 goals per game and have kept only 10% clean sheets. Key defender Thomas James is unlikely to feature following a knock sustained in a 3-1 defeat to AFC Wimbledon. Leyton have an expected goals (xG) of 1.16, showing they create chances, but struggle to convert consistently.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, head into this clash in strong form, collecting 1.90 PPG overall with 60% wins, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Wigan. Away from home, they still manage 1.33 PPG, scoring 1.00 goals per game while conceding just 1.00. Both sides have historically contributed to high-scoring encounters, and last season’s lone meeting ended in a 3-3 thriller with BTTS.
Taking everything into account, we predict an open game with chances at both ends. Therefore, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals bets seem interesting, alongside Away Win (Cardiff stronger overall and fine away form).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 15:00.
